As the Deputy will be aware my Department operates a wide range of programmes and schemes, details of which are available on the Department's website at www.pobail.ie. A number of these schemes and programmes are administered, on behalf of the Department by various groups and bodies, and accordingly applications for funding are made directly to these groups and bodies. In relation to the Deputies request for the number of applications for funding received by my Department in 2008 from Co. Kildare, I can confirm that two applications for funding from Co. Kildare were received directly by the Department under the Scheme of Community Support for Older People.
